Resonance │ Visions of Modern China

White Space Art Asia, in collaboration with the Heng Artland gallery, brings to you contemporary young artists from China. Rapidly urbanizing and wrestling as much with its history as with its destiny, china stands at cusp of becoming the next global superpower. These artists are a cross-section of the 80s generation; this is a generation where individuality is paramount and finding an identity in a vast sea of humanism is a constant struggle. They are intimately aware of their heritage and yet often at odds with their elders who lived through the Mao era and the cultural revolution.

The artists exhibited were disciplined at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing but rapidly found their own form of expression. At turns quirky and somber, introspective and assertive, they intuitively understand subjectivity is the key to individualism and to expressing the brave new world that is being shaped around them.
